Hi Berr
Been a while since I was here but trying to catch up on posts tionight and over the weekend as wife away to Belfast for a hen night, and Iona's at her pals forthe weekend.
I grew 4 varieties in buckets / tubs this year, and have just harvested my British Queens and had some for supper tonight, so, borrowing your format, here's my list
Foremost; flavour good-7 mks, yield-neither good nor bad, 7 mks, Maybe
Arran Pilot; flavour superb-9mks, yield - poor - 4mks, Undecided
Charlotte - Flavour very good, yield very good, Definitely
British Queen - Flavour superb, yield excellent ( best cropper by far) Deffo !
Rooster still in the ground.
Have not grown Kestrel but it is very popular at the veg shows up here and judging by the perfectly blemish free skins, I think they were probably bucket reared for the showring. Looks like a contender for the bucket next year.
